LA Times – “What do Mexican libraries look like? Maureen Moore, who works for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, had unique access when she recently traveled to Mexico. There she visited several, and brought her camera with her. Above, students study in the science department of the Central Library in Oaxaca City. In a post at the Library Foundation’s blog, she also includes a picture from Biblioteca Henestrosa, which focuses on Mexican history and Latin American literature and is part exhibition space, part library. Rather than being a public library, it’s funded by a single philanthropist.”

AP – “Foreign migrants caught while in Mexico illegally can now at least fight boredom while mourning their bad fortune. Mexico’s National Immigration Institute says it has installed a library with 1,000 pieces of reading material at its holding station in eastern Mexico City. It’s named “Looking South,” even if many of the migrants caught were looking north, hoping to cross Mexico to reach the United States.”
